Basement Waterproofing in Vienna, VA
Challenge
In Vienna, VA, a homeowner was dealing with a recurring and potentially damaging issue—water seepage through the basement floor. During heavy rains or after snowmelt, water would collect in the basement, creating damp conditions that not only threatened the structural integrity of the home but also increased the risk of mold growth, musty odors, and damage to stored belongings. Over time, the moisture also began to compromise the air quality throughout the home, adding to the homeowner’s concerns.
Realizing the problem required more than a temporary fix, the homeowner reached out to NV Waterproofing and Foundation Repair, a company well-known for reliable basement waterproofing in Vienna, VA. From the first call, our team set out to deliver both peace of mind and a permanent solution.
Our Customer Care Specialist promptly scheduled a free on-site inspection. Shortly after, one of our experienced System Design Specialists arrived to assess the basement thoroughly. During the evaluation, we confirmed the homeowner’s concerns: hydrostatic pressure beneath the foundation was forcing water up through the floor slab, and the lack of a proper drainage system was contributing to the repeated water intrusion.
Solution
To resolve the issue and protect the basement long-term, our team proposed a comprehensive, multi-component basement waterproofing system designed specifically for homes in Vienna, VA.
We began with the installation of the CleanSpace vapor barrier, a heavy-duty liner engineered to resist moisture, mold, and mildew. Applied along the basement walls, CleanSpace provides a clean, sealed environment that helps keep moisture out and improves the overall appearance of the space.
Next, our team installed the WaterGuard interior drainage system—a patented, non-clogging perimeter system placed just below the basement floor slab. This critical component captures groundwater at the most common entry point (where the wall and floor meet) and channels it directly into the TripleSafe sump pump system.
The TripleSafe sump pump offers three levels of protection: a primary pump for everyday use, a secondary pump for high-volume water events, and a battery backup system that keeps the pump running during power outages. This setup ensures the basement remains dry under virtually any conditions.
To prevent issues during winter months, we also installed the IceGuard discharge line protection, which allows water to exit the discharge line even if the exterior pipe is frozen or blocked by snow or ice. This prevents system backups and ensures uninterrupted drainage in all seasons.
Throughout the installation process, our skilled foreman and production crew worked with care and precision. We took extra measures to keep the work area clean and minimally disruptive. Once the job was complete, the team performed a detailed cleanup, leaving the basement spotless and the system fully operational.
The transformation was dramatic. What was once a damp, musty, and unusable space is now a dry, clean, and protected basement. With a fully encapsulated system in place, the homeowner no longer needs to worry about water damage, mold growth, or future repairs. Whether used for storage, a home gym, or finished living space, the basement is now a safe and reliable part of the home.
This project stands as a strong example of how NV Waterproofing and Foundation Repair continues to deliver trusted and proven solutions for basement waterproofing in Vienna, VA.
